"Très beau et propre. Nous avions tout ce dont nous avions besoin. Il est cependant ardu de se stationner pour la première fois, mais une fois que vous repérez bien l’environnement, c’est plus simple. Il est néanmoins nécessaire de se stationner plus loin et de marcher 10 minutes."

"My stay here was amazing. The room was on the top floor with a beautiful view of the water and sunrise. Extra large balcony to sit and enjoy music from the promenade. Inside was modern and stunning. Bathroom and vanity area perfect size. Large queen size bed super comfortable. All things in kitchen to cook if you want but the restaurants are all in walking distance as well as a spa. I can’t wait to visit again. Contactless check in was great."

Artemis Hotel

Artemis Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Artemis hotel is a truly special place - recently and beautifully renovated, nestled in lush gardens and right on the seashore - you can go from bedroom to beach in just 20 steps or less. Its tranquil setting with a private beach at the end of the bay from Makry Gialos, makes it feel secluded whilst still being a short walk from the harbour with its tavernas and cafes. The room we were in had a lovely view over the gardens and beach, and a balcony to enjoy the sunset from. Staff were all wonderful and we were received with warm and generous hospitality from the moment we arrived. They were especially helpful in assisting us with the Heraklion transfer. The Kima restaurant is also a lovely spot for a delicious meal while getting amazing views of the sunset across the bay. Try the Octopus! Thank you to all the Artemis staff for such an enjoyable holiday - we would love to come back."
